Chapter 182 Bicycle

Gu Yanyan's dark eyes rolled around, seeming a little confused.

After a while, the boy said, "Mom, let's go home..."

He had hardly lived in the county town, so in Gu Yanyan's eyes, Liujia Village seemed to be his home.

Liu Yinyin smiled and said, "This is our home too. We will live here with Dad from now on."

Gu Yanyan tilted his head and thought about it. Actually, as long as he was with his parents, it didn’t matter where he lived.

For a small family, it doesn't make much difference.

At most, he can no longer play with his country friends.

Seeing that he didn't cry, Liu Yinyin easily accepted this fact and felt relieved.

The little guy was not as fragile as she imagined.

However, the young man was silent for a long time, still thinking about one thing.

Gu Yanyan pouted and said, "Dog..."

To him, the little yellow dog grew up with him and is also a member of their family.

Liu Yinyin paused and said, "......When mom has time, I will bring the dog here."

You know what, it's pretty nice to have a dog to guard the house.

At noon, when Gu Cheng came back to eat, he was a little surprised not to see Liu Lai Fu and the others.

"Did mom and dad go back?"

Liu Yinyin hummed: "Dad's illness is almost healed, and he didn't want to stay any longer. He packed up and left shortly after breakfast."

Gu Cheng subconsciously asked, "When are we going back?"

Liu Yinyin glanced at him and asked, "Do you like living in the village?"

"It's okay, it's the same wherever you live." Gu Cheng said nonchalantly.

Liu Yinyin smiled and said, "Let's live in the county town first. Dad and Mom have some free time to help us look after the house, so we can leave the housework to them."

She didn't want to go back to Liujia Village for the time being because there was a severe water shortage in the village recently.

Liu Yinyin's family has a well. Living in the village, people knock on the door every day, wanting to borrow water from the well.

This may not seem like a big deal at first, but after a while, some people lose their sense of boundaries.

Once, Liu Yinyin was cooking in the kitchen.

Her family has good food, and the dish they made at that time was braised pheasant.

Someone smelled the fragrance and ran to the kitchen door to look through the crack.

It was the little yellow dog that reminded Liu Yinyin, and she finally noticed it.

It's nothing if it happens once or twice, but after a while, there will always be gossip in the village.

Liu Yinyin can't just do what the other villagers do and eat wild vegetables and tree bark every day just because of this, right?

So, it’s more comfortable to live in the county town now.

Gu Cheng has no objection, he can live anywhere.

Liu Yinyin thought for a moment and asked him, "By the way, do you have a way to get another bicycle ticket?"

What she thought was, since she couldn't leave the things in the village behind...she might as well just run to both places.

Liu Yinyin can stay in the village during the day and return to the county town at night.

It sounds troublesome, but it would be much more convenient if you have a bicycle.

The bicycle at home is worn out and needs to be used, so I have to buy another one.

When I lived in the village, I was afraid that having two bicycles at home would attract envy.

But in the county town...

Close the door, who knows how many bicycles you have at home?

Besides, this is a factory compound, and most families here are well off, and some even have two bicycles.

Gu Cheng had wanted to buy a bicycle for a long time. He said without hesitation, "I'll go ask in the afternoon."

Liu Yinyin thought it would be difficult to buy a bicycle at this time.

Just like last time, I probably have to wait ten days or half a month before I can buy a bicycle.

Unexpectedly, that afternoon, Gu Cheng came back pushing a brand new bicycle.

Liu Yinyin said in disbelief: "You bought a bicycle so quickly?"

Gu Cheng nodded and explained, "A colleague of mine happened to have a bicycle ticket, so I borrowed it first. There will be another bicycle ticket available in the factory next month. I will return it to him when I get it."

The bicycle ticket was exchanged by Gu Cheng with his comrades in arms using food.

Now, Gu Cheng has been working in the factory for nearly two years. He is sure to be able to apply for a bicycle ticket, and it is time for him to get one.

After get off work, Gu Cheng went to a department store and happened to see bicycles there, so he bought one immediately.

Liu Yinyin was delighted: "What good luck."

The vegetables I brought from the countryside have been eaten.

Every time Liu Yinyin went to the supply and marketing cooperative, all she saw was either potatoes or radishes, and she was almost fed up with them.

Tonight, Liu Yinyin only fried a few poached eggs.

There was instant noodles at home, so she cooked a few bowls.

Add some sesame paste, mix it, and you can eat it.

The sesame seeds were given to her by Aunt Zhou a few days ago. This afternoon, Liu Yinyin used a pound of sesame seeds to make a can of sesame paste.

I didn't expect it to succeed at the first try.

The sesame paste is rich and mellow, and tastes good.

Noodles mixed with sesame paste are also delicious.

Gu Cheng and Gu Yanyan, father and son, love to eat.

Seeing that they were enjoying their meal, Liu Yinyin said to Gu Cheng, "I will take Yanyan back to Liujia Village tomorrow morning. I won't be back for lunch. If you want to come back for dinner, you can cook some noodles and mix them with sesame sauce."

Maybe because he doesn’t want to be disturbed, Gu Cheng actually likes to go home for lunch.

But if Liu Yinyin went back to Liujia Village...it would be so hot at noon, she would definitely not be able to get back in time to make lunch.

I can only let him eat whatever he wants.

It doesn’t take much time to cook noodles, so Gu Cheng will definitely have enough time to go home and have lunch.

This place is close to the factory, and it’s even faster to ride a bicycle, it only takes a few minutes to get there.

"Okay." Gu Cheng did not refuse. It was indeed quiet to eat at home.

The sun rises very early this month. It is already slightly light outside at a little after five o'clock.

Noticing that Gu Cheng got up to run, Liu Yinyin got up with him.

I am going to Liujia Village today. I will get up early so that it won’t be so hot.

Gu Cheng knew that they went to the countryside today and after running, he installed a child seat on the back of the new bicycle he bought yesterday.

This way it is more convenient to take Gu Yanyan with you.

After breakfast, Liu Yinyin drove Gu Yanyan out.

She will come back to stay at night. This time, Liu Yinyin didn’t bring anything.

But after a few days of absence, the crops in the fields became even drier.

Looking around, the ground was all withered and yellow, which made people feel uneasy.

In this situation, even if it rains right away, most of this year's crops...will not yield any harvest.

"father......"

Liu Yinyin rode her bicycle directly to the end of the village and saw that the gate was open and Liu Laifu was feeding chickens inside.

"Are you back?" Liu Lai Fu was a little surprised to see the lady so early in the morning.

"I'll come back to take a look and go back in the evening." Liu Yinyin said as she picked up Gu Yanyan from the bicycle.

As soon as the little guy landed on the ground, he walked on his short legs to look for the little yellow dog.

Knowing that Liu Yinyin was taking him back to the village, Gu Yanyan was particularly excited along the way.
